Sept. 24th, Today is a “B” day!

Today is...National Punctuation Day! Jeff Rubin founded National Punctuation Day in 2004 as a way to promote the correct usage of punctuation. A period, a comma, a semicolon, a question mark and an exclamation point are examples of some of the punctuation used in writing to separate sentences and their elements and to clarify meaning.
